To correct my previous post, which hasn't appeared on the mailing list
yet. There are still small differences between FT2 and FT1, though these
are much less important since 2.1.0

Unfortunately, I can't tell for now where the differences come from,
since the reason is probably very subtle and need deep runtime
debugging that I haven't the time to perform right now..
